I remember reading that our V Bomber Force were all Nuked up and ready for the off during the Cuban Missile crisis, I remember that week very well, one was sat on top of 32,000 tons of Venuzuala crude about eighty miles off the coast of Cuba,we were being constantly buzzed at very low level by the cousins coast guard aircraft, the old man even issued six cans of beer per man,as he like most of us thought the end was nigh.
It very nearly was as well.
